At a seedy theater in a sleepy suburban town, a group of friends get together for a midnight screening of an early 1970s horror film, unaware that the director has something more in store for them.

A twisted take on low-voltage celebrity and overnight "Internet stars" and what happens when the two cross paths. An off-kilter love triangle with a girl half his age, a disapproving string of ex-wives... And a stalker in a monkey mask.

Only the pure of heart will be able to find the key to breaking the curse that holds real pirates captive.
